The difference between what's happening now and the turmoil of the past is the manipulation of the masses ... millions.... because it's so easy to get the misinformation to them.
It's been said that republics like ours, think Rome, only last about 200 years. There's a reason for that. People become complacent, spoiled. They are bored and will look for meaning from anyone. The people who want to rule us have coordinated their efforts by manipulating a segment of the population known for emotional, anti social behaviour. They've legitimized it.
If you don't think this can turn even uglier very very quickly, you are a fool.
WHAT DOES IT HURT TO BE READY?
It's not as valuable as actual firing time, but the loading, pointing, ejection, repeat practice helps.
Show her how to disassemble a gun. At a minimum, show her how to run a barrel snake through so she can clean it easily with one motion.
Finally, instead of blowing through hundreds of rounds on your own, spend a couple hundred $ on basic training. Often they supply the ammo and you'll get way more bang for your buck.
You cannot legally do that
You also cannot legally hand out guns like that warlord does, yet the Feds are perfectly okay with it because of muh rayzism. It is legal as long as you don't get caught or nobody cares.
